| Cause | |
| Resolution | Orbix services uses a file based Berkeley DB to store its data and interim state. It is a good practice to back up configuration database after the configuration domain is created, since corruption may happen to these data. Backing up Orbix data is accomplished by copying its "var" folder to a zip file or a safe file system. These backup data can be recovered, and copied on the top of older data when data corruption happen. The data restoration should always be done when all Orbix services are down. However, some restriction apply. For example, if any change that requires reconfiguring the domain is performed (switch from non-secure to secure domains, port number change), the older backup data is not anymore valid. A new backup should be performed. For more information on how to back-up the Orbix databases please refer to the "Database Recovery for Orbix Services" in the "Administrator's Guide". |
